LYRICS: Safe [2005]

Safe

She whispered as the night unfurled,
a thousand ways to stop this world, but
don’t look now; don’t look now…

She held my sadness deep inside,
with no call for disguise as she said:
“Don’t look now; don’t look now…”

You put me in a box in the ground,
it’s sealed so tight I can’t be found -
“You’re safe...”
You put me in a box in the ground,
I’m trying so hard to make no sound –
“You’re safe…”

In all your love
for all time
and all my joy
in these severed lives

So I climbed out upon the wing,
the last rite I could bring, and you say:
“Don’t look down; don’t look down…”

Her kingdom fell, they all did bow
But her words echoed true: “Be still now” –
don’t look down; don’t look down…

You put me in a box in the ground,
it’s sealed so tight I can’t be found -
“You’re safe...”
You put me in a box in the ground,
I’m trying so hard to make no sound –
“You’re safe…”

In all your love
for all time
and all my joy
in these severed lives

And it all came down
Right before you hit the ground
And it all came down
Right before you hit the ground

All your love
for all time
all my joy
in these severed lives
